Built-in streaming
Out of the box, you can send database changes to a webhook sink or turn on a Sequin Stream. Both offer a durable, Kafka-like stream with exactly-once processing guarantees and a simple HTTP interface.
//Sequin pushes rows to your HTTP endpoint
//Example lambda handler:
exports.order_handler = async (event) => {
try {
processOrder(event.data.action, event.data.record);
return {
//message will be ack'd
statusCode: 200,
};
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error:', error);
return {
//message will be nack'd & retried
statusCode: 500,
};
}
};# Receive messages from a consumer
curl -X 'GET' 'https://api.sequinstream.com/consumer/receive'
# Returns
{
"data": [
{
"ack_token": "MTYyeJ7abUjl1pO",
"data": {
"record": {
"id": 1,
"name": "Paul Atreides",
# more fields...
}
}
},
# more messages...
]
}
# Acknowledge a message
curl -X 'POST' 'https://api.sequinstream.com/consumer/ack'
-d '{ "ack_token": ["MTYyeJ7abUjl1pO"] }'Webhook sink
POST changes from your database to any HTTP endpoint. Built in retries and back-off.

Build automated workflows from database changes. Sequin captures and delivers every change in your database so you can break monolithic processes into automated, event-driven workflows.
// Automatically log all database changes with Sequin
async function logDatabaseChange(change) {
await db.query(`
INSERT INTO audit_logs (
event_id,
table_name,
record_id,
action,
old_values,
new_values
) VALUES ($1, $2, $3, $4, $5, $6)
`, [
change.id,
change.metadata.table_name,
change.record.id,
change.action,
JSON.stringify(change.changes), // Previous values
JSON.stringify(change.record) // New values
]);
}
// Example: Capture an order status change
await logDatabaseChange({
id: "evt_123",
action: "update",
metadata: { table_name: "orders" },
record: { id: "order_123", status: "shipped" },
changes: { status: "pending" }
});Create an Audit Log
Sequin captures the full history of modifications to your data, letting you meet compliance requirements, debug issues, and build powerful user features like activity feeds - all without modifying your application code.
// Replicate tables across databases with Sequin
async function replicateChange(change) {
// Handle inserts, updates, and initial data
if (change.action !== 'delete') {
await db.query(`
INSERT INTO products_replica (
id,
name,
price,
updated_at
) VALUES ($1, $2, $3, $4)
ON CONFLICT (id) DO UPDATE SET
name = EXCLUDED.name,
price = EXCLUDED.price,
updated_at = EXCLUDED.updated_at
`, [
change.record.id,
change.record.name,
change.record.price,
new Date()
]);
} else {
// Handle deletes
await db.query('DELETE FROM products_replica WHERE id = $1', [change.record.id]);
}
}
// Example: Replicate a product update
await replicateChange({
action: "update",
record: { id: "prod_123", name: "Coffee Maker", price: 99.99 }
});Replicate Tables
Seamlessly replicate data between databases in real-time. Sequin handles the complex parts of database replication - like race conditions, schema transformations, and failure recovery - so you can sync your data with just a few lines of code.
// Keep Redis cache in sync with your database
async function updateCache(change) {
const cacheKey = `products:${change.record.id}`;
if (change.action !== 'delete') {
// Update cache for inserts/updates
await redis.set(cacheKey, JSON.stringify({
...change.record,
cached_at: new Date()
}));
} else {
// Remove deleted items from cache
await redis.del(cacheKey);
}
}
// Example: Cache product update
await updateCache({
action: "update",
record: { id: "prod_123", name: "Coffee Maker", price: 99.99 }
});Maintain Cache
Keep your caches in sync with your database. Sequin streams changes directly to Redis, Memcached, or your caching layer of choice - eliminating cache inconsistencies and the complexity of manual cache invalidation.
